It's currently unknown whether former Michigan State coach Jud Heathcote will attend.

"There's rumors guys who haven't been back here in 20 years are coming. That's pretty cool," current Spartans coach Tom Izzo said Friday. "Once we get everybody here once, I think it will really take off.

"That's my ultimate dream. That means the program is really on solid ground, when the players that had played here are helping the players that are here. That'll be a big week, a bit couple of days. I'm excited about it."

After the Friday night reunion game, Michigan State will host Tuskegee in the first regular-season game at Jenison since 1989.

The event celebrates the 50th anniversary of a game at the facility that helped pave the way for equality for African-Americans in college basketball.
